This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Running netbeans 3.5 with sun's jdk (java version "1.4.1_01" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)) on a standard RedHat 8.0 installation (KDE window manager). The IDE user interface stops responding (stops redrawing windows) every 3-5 days, though sometimes within a few hours of usage. Hasn't happened while in mid usage. Tends to happen after I do other things (send some emails, got to lunch, etc).
Created attachment 10944 [details] Full thread dump (CTRL-/) after hang occurred.
Created attachment 10967 [details] Left idle over weekend, then this. Slightly different in "AWT-EventQueue-0" Thread.
Worked out how to repeat the bug (has nothing to do with being left idle)! 1. Run netbeans, go to editing workspace. 2. Run Mozilla-Firebird 0.6 and place the mozilla window partially over the NB Source Editor window. 3. Highlight some text and press CTRL+c to copy (such that the highlighted text is in part of the mozilla window which is over the top of the Source Editor window). 4. Close the mozilla window by hitting the X on the window border. 5. The Netbeans UI no longer responds! CTRL+/ gives the full thread dump. Perhaps the "AWT-EventQueue-0" may be worth closer inspection. It is in a wait state relating to copy/paste actions. I don't know enough about KDE and X windowing to draw any conclusions from this discovery. Even if it is somehow a fault of mozilla letting some even through or something, I think NB should handle it and not lock up like it does. Can anyone else reproduce the error following the above steps?
